Kyle opened his eyes to the sunlit room and sighed. Today was they day they were to receive their 'guests'. Ha! He could hardly believe that the people of Cloveshore would offer up girls like a bribe. It made him sick to think about it. But, he stopped his train of thought before he got too agitated, and took a deep breath. Then Kyle began his morning ritual of getting ready. He dressed in a loose fitting black shirt and a matching pair of slacks. Before he left the room he grabbed a book he had been reading recently on plants and their herbal uses. He was fascinated by the subject, like any other subject. And so he walked through the halls with one hand holding s book and the other in his pocket. He decided he might as well eat. So he headed to the kitchen for a casual snack. It wasn't long until he ran into his elder brother. He looked up casualy from his book to observe him. It was early for him to be up at this hour, he was usually the last to rise due to his astronomy habits. "Oh, hello Marlix. It's a nice change of pace, seeing you up so early."
